Possible clarification of the identity of the fish: Helen --red fish Robert--white fish w/red spots Vern--black and white spotted fish. Vern is the biggest fish and the most non-pretty of the set of four, but who will ever tell him, because he is the biggest, by far. Oscar--white fish with red spots on his head and other parts of his body. I get him mixed up with Helen when he is swiftly swimming around in the pond. Matthew and Ramona will further clarify when they return. Until then, I am content to be here with Helen, Robert, Vern and Oscar. Bandit and Chico did not make it to December. I never really paid any attention to Oscar when he first arrived. I may not have been here when he arrived. Some fish lost their life when Ike came to town. All of the algae-eating fish died during Ike's sojourn in Houston. Oh well.
